Amazing Threads — Local services in Maple Grove

Not so Amazing!

My husband was nearly finished with his c-mas stocking when he ran out of yarn - just days before the 25th. After making a handful of calls around the metro trying to find someone who carries this particular yarn, no luck except for the internet. So he bought it on-line.

After he got it in the mail it needed to be caked, so I decided to run over to amazing threads and pick up some more yarn/needles for my next project, and while I'm there have them wind his yarn.

I ended up purchasing $47 worth of knitting supplies from them and after the transaction I asked them if they could wind his yarn - nope! Now that's Amazing! One would think a business would do everything in its power to make sure a customer walks out the door happy, right - to keep them coming back? I walked out completely heated and actually should have returned my items. This is such a minute thing to do - and if it makes a customer happy and coming back to your business, you should do it!

The Yarnery has 2 winding stations set up and they are so kind as to volunteer to do it for you.

My husband barely finished his stocking in time - we ended up winding by hand. So...

A few years ago the owner convinced me to take up knitting as a therapy. I took a few classes, knitted some hats, scarves and a pair of socks. My latest project is a lace shawl. Amazing Threads is just that, a shop of some of the best and threads you can find. The colors and textures are simply "amazing". But to be honest, you can find all that on the net. What you can't find on the net is what I have come to rely on with every project, wisdom and service. The staff and teachers have always treated me with respect and have helped me understand the project thoroughly so I don't get in over my head. When I run into the eventual problems, they are there to help me out and say an encouraging words to keep me motivated. I highly recommend Amazing Threads to newbies and experienced knitters that I bump into. Check it out and see for yourself. Don't forget to sink your fingers into the Alpaca thread,...

I haven't been in a while and normally I love this store. I was super excited to purchase some yarn to make the Ashes wrap with some of the yarn they showed on Facebook. I entered the store and several women were at the front laughing and talking (which is fine! love to see employees happy), however, no one welcomed me or asked if I needed anything. I walked around the store several times and again no one approached and asked if I was finding what I was looking for, everyone still at the front talking, so I left without purchasing anything. They were polite enough to wish me a nice day as I left, but I would have been happier if I had been able to have some guidance and help in...
